An Oklahoma pharmacy technician was the subject of a State Board of Pharmacy disciplinary case after the pharmacy where the technician worked reported a controlled substance loss. On June 23, 2025 the Board office received by fax a DEA-106 theft or loss form from the pharmacy reporting 3,762 tablets missing.
The available excerpt of the Attorney General's letter does not identify the specific drug involved or describe how the pharmacy connected the loss to the technician. The Board's case rested on provisions of the Oklahoma Pharmacy Act that prohibit possessing dangerous drugs without a valid prescription or license and require registrants to conduct themselves in a manner that maintains public confidence in the profession.
The Board held a hearing on November 18, 2025. Considering the record in its totality, it concluded that clear and convincing evidence established the technician violated the Oklahoma Pharmacy Act. The Board determined the most appropriate discipline was permanent revocation of the pharmacy technician permit together with a $2,000 fine.
The Oklahoma Attorney General's office reviewed the proposed action and issued its opinion that it was in accordance with the state's policy to protect public health, safety and welfare.
